Highlights of 1950s:
In an article about Delta in ''The Key'', 1955, Dr. Herman B. Wells, then president of Indiana University, wrote about the Chapter’s traditionally high scholarship, its participation in extracurricular activities, and its leadership on campus. The associate dean of students mentioned Delta’s participation, cooperation, and spirit.
 
High scholarship has always marked Delta. Between 1951 and 1965, the chapter placed first, second or third among sororities on campus for 28 out of 33 semesters. Through the years, many chapter members have been inducted into Mortar Board, and Phi Beta Kappa. Chapter records show continuous participation in campus activities. Two members, Judy Roberts (Morris), (1952) and Lesley Bush (Hickcox), (1964 and 1968), have represented the United States on the Olympic swim teams.
 
Nearly every Fraternity President has visited Delta, but a high point was when six Fraternity officers were entertained in November of 1957, and Delta’s 84-year-old Red Book and an 82-year-old badge were presented to Fraternity Headquarters. The priceless Red Book contains Delta minutes from the first meeting on January 2, 1873, to November 22, 1889. The badge was once worn by Kate Hight who was initiated in 1875. These treasures, as well as a hand-decorated ritual book and other chapter memorabilia were on display at the Centennial Convention, and are now at Headquarters.
